Serious postal stamp collectors are known to have bottomless pockets. LNIB with paperwork would be irresistible to them.

I feel your pain my friend!
I've seen a couple of grail guns & just didn't have the money at that moment.
I REALLY want a S&W 13, 65 or 581 that's P&R'd
(If I could afford it, I'd like to have all 3, but that's a pipe dream)
Just keep your eye open, someday it'll come around again.

I don't see what the big deal is as one can get newly made smaller SP101 or slightly larger GP100 with 3" barrels. If I had to pick it would be GP100 Talo edition with 3" barrel and Novak sights. I don't see advantage of 3" barrel in .357 revolver that is too large and or heavy for the pocket to make matters less savory quality holsters for 4" guns are much easier to find.

Why a TALO edition then? The others are more common and less expensive. (Though TALO edition guns are usually overpriced for what you get)
Same situation with the OP. He wants what he wants. Its HIS grail gun not yours.
Plus, any holster can be made for any gun. You mention quality holsters. IMO a quality holster is one which is custom made on a bespoke status. Not just a Galco off the shelf. You can get many custom made holsters for uncommon guns with uncommon barrel lengths. Or in the case of the OP, a common gun with an uncommon barrel length.
But all this purely acedemic unless you are going to carry and fire your grail.

Right, already answered but it's your choice of gun. After many years of shooting/training/shows you'll find something you'll aspire to.
The Colt Delta Elite, Italian made Beretta 92s, or some guys get their lid flipped on certain S&W j-frames from the 60s/70s/80s, etc.. Now a TSW4566? Hmmm....crazy.

how they destroyed most of the 3000 that were made. Our tax money paid for the guns and was then used to destroy them

This thread reminds me of my grandfather. He was a post office employ during the first half of the twentieth century. He wasn't an inspector, I don't think, but worked (for a while, anyway) at a secure position that required him to have a gun. If I remember correctly, my dad said it was either a Colt or S&W revolver, which isn't surprising, but I think he said it was .32 caliber.
I wonder how often modern postal inspectors actually use their guns? Shipping drugs is a problem, I suppose.

Well, because the SP101 is a 5-shot, and the GP100 is larger and heavier. I think the K-frame size guns are perfect, and the Ruger Six series are the best of those, because they can handle a steady diet of hot 125-gr. .357 magnum that the Smith .357 K-frames can't. The GP100 is a fine gun, and it is a stronger design than the Six series, but with Rugers, which gun is stronger is pretty irrelevant, since the weakest Ruger Revolver design is basically indestructable.
There's also the history and rarity of the gun and the fact that it had all the original paperwork and box.
